Operation
ALWAYS chock the wheel(s) opposite where you are lifting. Use recommended (2) wheel chocks in
front and behind the wheel(s) to keep vehicle from shifting forward/backward.
• Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for proper jacking procedures. Lift only on areas of the
vehicle specied by the vehicle manufacturer.
NOTE: If only supporting one corner of the vehicle, place jack stand under the
manufacturers recommended jacking point and adjust the height and lock in with the
pin/linchpin.
SUPPORTING FRONT/REAR END:
If supporting the front or rear end of a vehicle, ALWAYS use jack stands in an identical pair locked
and at the same height. DO NOT use any other materials such as wood, steel, etc. to gain extra
height when supporting vehicle.
LIFTING ENTIRE VEHICLE:
If lifting the entire vehicle, support the front end rst. Then, using a matching pair locked and set to
the same height, lift the back end of the vehicle.
•Position stands under vehicle at points specied by the vehicle manufacturer as proper load
support points.
ALWAYS inspect the vehicle load and jack stands to make sure that the jack stand(s) is/are
positioned at on the ground on all three sides and the vehicle DOES NOT shake or tilt while
supported.
WARNING: It is recommended when lifting front end or back end of vehicle to use a
pair of matching jack stands. Jack stands are NOT to be used as a permanent lifting/
stability solution and are ONLY to be used during the repair of vehicle. DO NOT leave
vehicle on jack stand(s) for an extended period. This may lead to damage to jack
stand(s), vehicle, and/or worse possible harm/death.
